Part of the glory of America is that we can choose to do or not do what we want. Obama can CHOOSE not to participate in the pledge and any of you can CHOOSE not to vote for him because of it. Without that CHOICE we wouldn’t be America, we’d be Stalinist Russia or Maoist China or even McCarthy Era America. That FREEDOM is what our men and women have fought for the past 200+ years and that FREEDOM is why I’m glad to be an American.

So, all you military folk reading this, whether or not you agree with me, I sincerely thank you for preserving my FREEDOM to express my opinion to all of you. (and since tone of voice doesn’t carry online I feel the need to stipulate that yes, it’s a sincere expression of gratitude and not sarcastic).

yr a faggot barack is a real american u are a neocon assholeeee

First off neetersb, our freedom has never been threatened from abraod. The Nazis couldn’t even cross a 22 mile wid channel much less the Atlantic, Nor could the Soviets. China has the worlds largest Army but no way to project them acrross an Ocean. And you have to be pretty dense to believe that we are in any danger of having some guy dressed like Lawrence of Arabia kick in your front door and force to to bow towards Mecca. We are the invaders over there and I myself refuse to oarticipate in any pledge as long as we continue to be an evil Empire. Being a 26 year veteran, I can tell you that the military is just another self serving government institution trying to justify its existence. We have too many wannabes cheering from the sidlelines. In the words of Teddy Roosevelt “Anyone who cries for war should present their own body with which to fight it”

What do you expect from a muslim? The threat he represents to America surpassed that of Bin Laden

That may well be the stupidest thing I’ve ever read.

First, England and Mexico have both attacked us on our own soil. So has Japan. Second, Nazi Germany would have easily wiped out England if Hitler hadn’t been stupid enough to betray Russia and fight a two-front war. Even so, our entrance into WWII was far from “We showed up, kicked ass, and German lost.” It was a difficult battle against a powerful enemy.

Third, the Soviets DID cross the Atlantic. They set up communist regimes in Cuba, Nicaragua, and elsewhere.

Fourth, China has ships.

Fifth, tell that to the people who died in 9-11.

And sixth, I agree wholeheartedly. That’s why I and every other male in my family has served in the Army. But why don’t ~you~ put your money where your mouth is, and take a flight on out? Join the “harmless” muslims, or other “victims” of American “Imperialism”.

Now as I set here, I am thinking, I am a retired police officer. I know a little about the law, I was a narcotics investigater. Now Barack Obama says in his book that he was a Drug user and abuser. He admits this while he is campaigning.

I hear this in disblief, he expects the american people to vote for him for president and has brass enough on his face to ask people to vote for him. When he is a self confessed felon, to buy illegal drugs is a felony, to use illegal drugs is a felony, to possess illegal drugs is a felony, now he has admitted to three felonies, a self admitted confessed felon, and he expexts us to vote for him for president, he has to be nuts, and anyone that votes for a felon has to be nuts as well.

Just like he trys to say he is not a muslim, remember 9-11? his father was muslim, his step father was muslim, his grand parents are muslim, he went to school as a muslim, and what does that make him?? Think about it and take all this serious before you vote.

He does not have the morals or the character to be the President of the United States of America.

Frank

I am appalled and sickened that this character has the nerve (balls) to want to be president of our country. He is un-American. How dare he refuse to salute our flag. He has the freedom and right to his own religious beliefs but the flag represents our country. If you don’t love America and what it stands for then GET OUT. I think we are asking for trouble if we let this loser into the white house.

To The Redneck:

First, WE attacked England and Mexico. We took Texas and Cali. Not complaining. Survival of the fittest.
Second, Nazi Germany
Third, the so called ’set-up’ hostile regimes were nothing but a result of Imperialistic ambitions that we imposed on our neighbours to the south.
Fourth, So we’ll drain the ocean. We can do anything.
Fifth, Do not insult our freedom by making it seem so feable that it could be threatend by a towel head in a cave in Afghanistan. 9-11 was a test. The first real test for our freedom. Spain took the moral high ground after the madrid bombings. So far we are failing. We’ve been through worse so I’m still optimistic.

And Sparks enough with this xenophobic BS. I wonder is it because he’s a muslim or because he’s black. People like you make me sick!

I might personally give BHO a pass on the pic — maybe he was zoning, distracted, high, whatever. But this picture will play in the heartland (and even some quadrants of the coasts), no matter the truth of it, and so will the fact that BHO is (i) the son of a muslim, (ii) partially madrassa-educated (of the Wahabi variety, it seems), (iii) of questionable patriotism. And there’s that troublesome middle name of his.

Let’s face facts, folks — the West is, and for nearly 1500 years has been, in an existential battle with the whole of Islam. Most of our European allies refuse to acknowledge this fact because it is the quintessential “inconvenient truth.” After all, if the Europeans were finally to accept a dose of reality and face up to this, they would have to start spending some of their treasured Euros on, say, a meaningful defense. And they would have to deal with the fact that they have become so materialistic, amoral and short-sighted that they no longer procreate (though they sure can recreate), thus creating a manual-labor shortage that can only be filled by the Muslims who would kill them all.

I think that most Americans understand this intuitively. And even if BHO is a peaceful, well-intentioned, baseball-hot-dogs-apple-pie-and-Chevrolet-loving American — and I hope he is — they simply will not vote for someone who appears to be so closely linked to America’s mortal enemy. Perhaps I would be going too far if I said that his election would put the fox in the henhouse, although, again, that remains to be seen. But with good candidates like John McCain out there, why would anyone in his right mind take a risk on BHO?

Just fyi to you all, Barack Obama is not a muslim, nor was he ever a muslim. His father was a muslim (his father left him when Obama was 2), his stepfather was a self-proclaimed atheist by the time he married Obama’s mother. Obama’s mother was a cultured atheist. Obama was an atheist until he converted to christianity at age 22. As a child in Indonesia he did indeed attend a madrassa, which is the Arabic word for school. Often it refers to religious schools but is also the same word for public school and if you bother to do some research you’ll know that CNN investigated the madrassa in question and found it was a public school not unlike our own that attempts to be unbiased though obviously they’re gonna celebrate muslim holidays moreso than christmas and easter. Obama attended the madrassa for 2 years and then was sent to a ROMAN CATHOLIC school for another 2 years. His mother, though an atheist, believed Barack Obama should be able to choose for himself.

Obama was born and raised atheist though found Jesus, why is this so hard to believe?

Ok here is the nuts and bolts of it all. We have allowed an anti-White black man to go further than anyone has ever gone before in our political process. Allowed him to hide behind the politically correct ideations of the liberal left, anti-secular extremists. We have sat back and not voiced our concern to the rest of the proud american people and point out what this man is all about. HE IS READY TO TERMINATE EVERYTHING BUILT IN THE LAST 230 YEARS. Wake up American, wake up fast!! Not exercising your right to vote, and allowing this so-called black man tear down everything our forefathers fought so hard for is an abomination. Obama Bin Laden is our greatest threat, not some has been muslim cave dweller. We should bring the troops home, because if this total nit-wit is elected we’ll need every white boy and girl on American soil to take him and his croonies down.

Why should Barack pledge to a flag that respresents something he does not stand for or believe in? I won’t either under Bush’s administration. When Obama is president, I will be proud to be an American, but as long as we have a Fascist in office, I will pledge to no flag. Barack is NOT a Muslim and it makes no difference to me if he was. Seems better than having a so called “Christian” in office these days.

Obama,Osama you do the math Obama wont salute the flag or say the pledge of allegiance can you imagine what he feels about the Constitution and our freedom’s the freedom’s we have left after 911 and bush i say if it’s a dem it has to be Hillary the lessor of the two evils

Please, do we really want Osama, er excuse me Obama in our white house? Running our country the way he seems fit to run it(even though he has no idea what he is doing) Come on people, this guy is a muslim, having his wife put us americans down(or as she calls us white people?) He is just an arragent person who needs to give it up to someone who knows what they are doing. Smirking, looking and acting like another Kennedy is enough to make me throw up! And not saluting our flag or saying the pledge of allegence, what does that tell you? The next time he is in my home town, I’m going to see if anybody wants to start a protest, second thought better not, he might send the muslim troops after me..last question, who is going to be his secret service agent, Oprah?

i have read every post on this website and first off let me say this, while everyojne is entitled to their opinion i would just like to point out that if you have nothing itelligent to say, shut your mouth and let people who do speak. your making us look bad. second, for those of you sitting there bashing bush, unless you voted for the other guy shut up and deal with. and fyi if you dont like the way our country was founded and has been functioning since it was founded get the fuck out.

now, this is what i have to say about obama. it is in the form of a letter because as soon as i find a way to send it to him, it is going in the mail. you dont like it? kiss my american ass cause i dont give a shit. k? thanks.

Dear Mr. Obama,

My name is Stephanie. I am currently a registered voter for the upcoming election and a young, impressionable, American mind. I have watched you and Mrs. Clinton present your speeches and have seen how you handle yourselves under pressure. I have given hard thought to which candidate I would want running as the Democratic candidate for my country and have come to my conclusion. But before I get to that Mr. Obama, I would like to express something that had been rolling around in my head since I first discovered it was true.

Mr. Obama, you were born and raised in this country. You were raised with solid beliefs and good morals. You speak English; the language of America and you obviously had some good standing to become a man in such a high position in the government. But quite frankly Mr. Obama, I find you to be an absolute disgrace to this nation, and to humanity as a whole.

It is to my knowledge that you openly and freely admitted to not only not wanting to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, but also that you believed it to be Un American. Think about that statement. You said that the Pledge of Allegiance is UN AMERICAN. Let me explain something to you because you quite clearly haven’t the faintest idea what you are doing. The Pledge of Allegiance is the very definition of being American. Why is this? I will tell you Obama. If you actually listen to the words of the Pledge, you would realize that it is a way of swearing your LOYALTY to this country. You know, the one that you are trying to get elected to RUN? If you think that swearing your loyalty to the country you eventually want to be in charge of one day then you, sir, are just plain ignorant. How can you be expected to be taken seriously for the prestigious HONOR of being the president when you can’t even swear to be loyal to the country? It is hypocritical and a slap in the face to every loyal and true American citizen.

I hear your voice on the radio and I see your face on the television and I want to vomit. You preach about how the country needs change and that you stand for hope and all the “good” things you want to do for the country, but then you turn around and you don’t face the flag nor do you put your hand over your heart when the National Anthem is played. THE NATIONAL ATHEM Obama. As a person running for PRESIDENT you should be the FIRST person to be standing with their hand on their chest whenever it is played. Instead, you turn you BACK on the flag and look around at the clouds in the sky or at something shiny that passes by. Do you realize that by doing that you are, in all reality, turning your back on the COUNTRY and the AMERICAN CITIZENS and basically telling them to screw off, you have better things to do. You are basically openly shunning everything that this country stands for and I would be willing to bet that if, God forbid, you do get swept into office that your first official action would be to get rid of both the Pledge and the Star Spangled Banner.

This, if nothing else, is why I am not, nor would I ever, cast a vote for you. To do so, would be un-American and disgraceful. I sincerely hope that American realizes what a fraud and a hypocrite you are and gives you the boot before you can cause any more embarrassment to this country and everything we stand for.

I will tell you this much Obama, if you do get elected, I’m moving to Canada.

Thank you.

I dont care if I ever learn anything else about the moron. If we elect Obama as president, the country is going to go to hell.

Steph that was the smartest post on this page! If the freeloaders and media voters get it their way I’ll see you in Canada!

According to Federal Election Commission filings, Barack Obama has received illegal donations from Palestinians living in Gaza, a hotbed of Hamas terrorists.

Obama received more than $24,000 in campaign contributions over a period of two months last fall from three Palestinian brothers from the “Edwan” family in Rafah, Gaza, which is a Hamas stronghold along the border with Egypt. The story was uncovered by Pamela Geller of the Atlas Shrugs blog. (see Federal Election Commission report)

Attorney and conservative commentator Debbie Schlussel notes foreign nationals are barred from making contributions in connection with any election — federal, state, or local — and an individual is allowed to give only $2,300 per election to a federal candidate or the candidate’s campaign committee.

“The donations are basically through and through illegal — that’s number one. And number two is how the Obama campaign tried to conceal it,” Schlussel chides. “They listed the campaign contributions as coming from Rafah, Georgia. They used the ‘GA’ from Gaza so it makes it look like it’s legal; and then for the zip code it says ‘972,’ which is actually the area code to dial over to Gaza,” she contends.

The attorney comments that if the Obama campaign is willing to “accept thousands of dollars beyond the legal limit and they’re also going to flout [Federal Election Commission] restrictions…that’s very indicative of what kind of president [Obama] is going to be.”

“They’re not going to be worried about the details and they won’t mind if they break the law to get to the final result that they want,” adds Schlussel. She believes it is a “major news story when a presidential candidate receives money from ‘a bastion of Islamic terrorism.’ And Schlussel argues that the media is “bending over backwards to help Barack Obama and cover up any negative news about him.”

Schlussel says Pamela Geller will likely file a Federal Election Commission complaint against the Obama campaign for violating restrictions and limits on campaign contributions.

Could Obama strike down all state pro-life laws?

The editor of a pro-life news service says a draft copy of the proposed Democratic Party platform that will be approved later this month in Denver continues the party’s historic pro-abortion stance and mirrors Barack Obama’s extreme support for abortion.
The proposed Democratic Party platform announces unequivocal support for Roe v. Wade and direct taxpayer funding of abortions. Steven Ertelt, editor of LifeNews.com, obtained the draft platform from a pro-life group that is urging the Democratic Party to moderate its stance on abortion.

Ertelt says the platform draft also expresses support for the so-called “Freedom of Choice Act” — a bill Senator Obama promised Planned Parenthood last summer would be the first piece of legislation he signs as president. According to Ertelt, the measure would overturn all of the pro-life laws nationwide.

“In other words, that piece of legislation would overturn any laws that any state legislature has passed — for example, prohibiting taxpayer funding of abortion, allowing parents a right to know when their teenage daughters are considering having an abortion, a right to know or informed consent, or any other common-sense limits like partial-abortion bans that we’ve put on the books. That would overturn all of those laws,” he states bluntly.

Ertelt considers Obama the most pro-abortion presidential candidate since Roe v. Wade, noting the Illinois senator opposed a bill in the Illinois Legislature that would have protected babies who survived botched abortions. Obama says he opposed that bill because it did not contain language protecting Roe v. Wade, as the federal bill did. However, according to Ertelt, new documents show Obama opposed the bill even though it contained the same language as the federal bill.

Stephanie - FYI This country is in Hell, brought to you by the Pledge-o-allegience Republicans. I am much less concerned about a person who openly presents their ideas or beliefs, rather than many of politicians who conceal their core values from the public and exercise influence “under the radar”. Implementation of laws like the “Clear Skies Initiative” that actually negatively impact air quality, or the Patriot act, which would have all of the founding fathers rolling over in their graves are the things we should really be focusing upon!

I hope you enjoy the North Country!

Missing you already…not

I have done some pretty extensive research on the Obama pledge allegience rumor mongering. Here are a few interesting insights.

* Obama does cover his heart in the normal fashion when reciting the Pledge. There are several videos of that…even in congress.

* There are various (acceptable) ways to show respect when the National Anthem is sung, including the hand over heart or standing quietly while facing the flag.

* Recent research has shown that the usage of inflammitory rumors will effectively (negatively) impact public perception on a point. Refudiation of the rumors with fact leads those with strong, emotional beliefs further into their emotionally founded (even if mislead) belief structure. So some of the net impacts of negative false rumoring are to further polarize the people and possibly create the negative effect desired by the perps.

Definelty food for thought with some of the wild crap flying around.

What they couldn’t do to us on 911, they are going to do to us by slipping their man in the White House. This is a totally illegal elction. If I did not have to live here, I would wish you liberal voters would get the president you deserve. I am sickened by what we have allowed to happen to our nation. Why WON’T BHO release his college records? Is it because he is from Africa or is it because his thesis is the radical socialistic Marxist views? You should read some words from his wifes thesis. She does not deserve to be First Lady either.

Steph, That was great. That is exactly what he wants to do. He wants to change the flag so it won’t intimidate other countries. He wants to change the National ‘Anthem to Walking on Sunshine. He wants to take our armaments down to levels that the foreign countries will like. He even admitted him and his wife have attended flag burning ceremonies. Also, he beleives in abortion even partial birth. If the baby still comes out alive, he says it is not a viable human and should not have medical treatment. Do you know what the next step is? Euthanasia for all those they think aren’t worth anything to their cause. Frankly, I fear any government that is totally controlled by either party and this will be some really bad control with the seats that they will be picking up. There will no one to keep them in check. May God help us all.
